Case Strategies

To start, I always tell people up front that in order to win your MS disability claim, you have to be able to show Social Security how your illness prevents you from being able to work. It is not enough to simply prove that you have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis; you must really elaborate on how your MS symptoms limit your abilities to perform even simple, unskilled work. In other words, you must be able to translate your medical condition into specific work limitations. These limitations are the bread and butter of a winning Multiple Sclerosis disability case.

It is important to keep in mind that the strategies for winning your MS disability claim can often be combined, meaning that you can present to Social Security more than one argument as to why you are disabled. To understand how this works, however, you have to understand how each individual strategy works.
